Chronicles of the Sky: Building Rockets in Ming Dynasty

Lin Qiong, a genius aerospace engineer from the 21st century, unexpectedly travels back to the first year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the Little Ice Age brings continuous natural disasters, famine spreads, the Later Jin cavalry threatens the border, and the Ming Dynasty is on the verge of collapse. Facing a hellish start, Lin Qiong has no system, no superpowers, only knowledge beyond his era. He begins by improving farm tools and making 'fertilizer' to save the famine, then builds telescopes and improves cannons to defend the border, until he sets his sights on the deep starry sky—he wants to ignite the first sounding rocket in this era, using the highest technological gap to fight for a completely different future for Chinese civilization. This is a passionate story about stars and earth, technology and humanity, personal choices and the survival of civilization.
